OK, so the there are only 2 reasons why move_parent could fail in this
path. 1) it races with somebody else who is uncharging or moving the
charge and 2) THP split.
1) works for us and 2) doens't seem to be serious enough to expect that
it would stall rmdir on the group for unbound amount of time so the
change is safe (can we make this into the changelog please?).
